|
|
|
Stiúraigh mé dod' mholadh
|
Tell me how to praise you
|
|
Cé nach ollamh mé um éigse
|
Although I am no master of poetry
|
|
A ghnúis ainglí gan locht
|
Angelic face without stain
|
|
Thug sú t'ochta dom réiteach
|
You gave me breast milk to save me
|
|
Tiomnaim mé fad' chomairc
|
I throw myself on your protection
|
|
A bhuime mhúirneach an Aen-mhic
|
Loving Mother of the one Son
|
|
Is fá do scéith díon mo chorp
|
Under your shield protect my body
|
|
Mo chroí, mo thoil is mh'éifeacht
|
My heart, my will and strength
|
|
A theampaill na dtrí bpearsan
|
Temple of three persons
|
|
Athair Mac is Naomh Spioraid
|
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
|
|
Guím thú dom fhurtacht
|
I pray to you to aid me in
|
|
Uair mo bhreatha is mh'éaga
|
My hour of judgement and death
|
|
A Rioghain, dá dtug an Rí
|
Queen who was given by the King
|
|
An tAthair, síorbhuíochas
|
The Father, thanks forever
|
|
Óigheacht is bheith ad'mháthair
|
Motherhood and virginity
|
|
Gabhaim do pháirt dom réiteach
|
I beseech your part in my salvation
|
|
A shoithig iompair an lóchrainn
|
Vessel who carries the light
|
|
A ró-shoillse os cionn gréine
|
Great brightness that outshines the sun
|
|
Tarraing mé fad' dhíon i gcuan
|
Pull me under your protection
|
|
As loing diomuan an tsaoghail
|
From the short journey of life
|
|
A Mhuire mhodhail, mhaiseach
|
Mary, gracious and beautiful
|
|
Is ceannsa, cneasta, maorga
|
Gentle, mild and stately
|
|
Ní tuirseach mé fad' ghairm
|
I don't tire calling to you
|
|
'Stu mo chrann bagair lá an bhaoghail
|
You defend me on the dangerous day
|
